@TheRabbitHole At SpaceX, ordinary welders with brown skin are now millionaires. Will we hear AOC and other screechers screech about that? My bet is no.

@JoyceWhiteVance So, per your worldview, heterosexual male fighters on White House grounds is forbidden, while Biden's unexplainable celebration of topless female impersonators--fake tits proudly flashing--upholds American moral values? What am I missing here?

Trump thinks this will make us forget the price of eggs & a tankful of gasoline. That it will make us forget ICE agents killed Renee Good & Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Forget about what's in the Epstein Files that hasn't been released. Let's make sure we prove him wrong.

They don’t care for the poor. They just envy the rich.

@FischerKing64 Re: "when the music stops": Ok, let's say you're right. What's your guess as to when such collapse actually happens? And when it does, what does it look like?

I hate to break it to you - but the United States is an absolute, incoherent shitshow. The idea that we have ‘representative government’ is ridiculous. If that were true we would not have wasted billions killing Iranians for no reason at all. Some people wanted this - but the voters who elected this government did not. Let’s go further. When Trump goes to China - he brings our ‘great billionaires’ with him. I can’t think of any more obvious symbol that we live in an oligarchy that does everything it can to manipulate outcomes - and that voting is a bit of a joke. It’s like he’s bringing with him ‘the ruling elite.’ Because that is what he did. We have at least 40 million illegal aliens living here. Our business ‘leaders’ engineered this by bribing politicians to keep the border open - because they wanted to pay low wages and make mucho $$ for themselves. When people objected because their incomes were falling - the business leaders accused them of racism and funded Barack Obama to become POTUS. The USA is $40 trillion in debt - and no one has a plan to solve that problem. Absolutely no one. This will blow up one day - and it will destroy normal people who save in dollars - because the unspoken plan is to destroy the currency and save the rich and destroy the rest. But people who own our homes - like Blackstone or Blackrock - won’t care because their assets will follow inflation. Everyone else will be reduced to paupers renting from them - their bank accounts gone. The United States today is hopelessly dysfunctional. It lacks a coherent population that can even agree on anything. It is bankrupt - but the rest of the world is propping it up because they are also scared of what happens when the dollar collapses. It doesn’t have any smart leaders - and we have to watch insiders doing oil trades to make $$ on the Iran war - and the administration itself sells shit coins. Our foreign policy is a total joke - not strategic in any way at all. It is driven by special interests, and then not even followed through. And people are actuality making money on it - pump and dump coming straight from the White House. This is a hell of a way to celebrate 250 Years! At least we can have a cage match on the White House lawn that degrades our entire history and underscores just how bad and ridiculous things are! Thank you for your attention to this matter! Enjoy the circus! If you’re lucky you will be dead when the music stops!

People have a choice with capitalism

‘Obama kept up w the latest literary fiction.’ Lol. It’s impossible to overstate how recessionary our intellectual standards became starting around 2010. Obama was callow and performatively intellectual and libs, whose intellectual and cognitive capacity has declined precipitously in the past 25 years, loved having their vanity reflected off him and didn’t care how obviously shallow he was. Obama was an extraordinary talent in flattering people and making them feel a certain way about themselves. The guy came out of nowhere to become president of the Harvard Law Review (although of course he never published anything of note there) and he had a true genius for understanding the psychological needs of the public as a political performer. Libs get very touchy when you bring up Obama’s superficiality and shallowness because it implicates their own shallowness and lack of discernment and how they’ve also been coasting on the social performance of ‘intelligence’ rather than anything approaching intellectual rigor for quite a long time.

JUST IN: Hunter Biden announces he's officially considering a 2028 campaign, but only as Gavin Newsom's VP.

What Sowell said is exactly right and needs to stop.

I voted for this. The Trump DOJ is consistently working to dismantle DEI, affirmative action, and disparate-impact doctrine. That is a big win.

🔥Hot off the presses: @TheJusticeDept issued an opinion today explaining that disparate-impact liability under federal employment law is *unconstitutional*. This is an earthquake in federal civil rights law. If right, this is the foundation to overturn that pernicious regime.

@feelsdesperate Not unlike an expressionist painter getting bored and trying on dadaism after 2 years of painting only in red. Politics is fashion is art, and attention span is the new calendar.

🚨 OMG. President Trump CUTS OFF and WALKS OUT of a Kristen Welker interview He looks her in the eyes and tells her SHE'S A LIAR, then storms off! "The elections are like a 3rd world country. YOU'RE CROOKED...let's call it QUITS. I've HAD ENOUGH." WELKER: Please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin! TRUMP: "I've sat in the RAIN with you for an HOUR! I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let's GO." WELKER: *Whines* BEST PRESIDENT EVER 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, lol, I would say so.

Outcomes > Intentions

@FischerKing64 "Better mine than yours." Hard to disagree. Hard to pretend otherwise. And the Supreme Court has neither the power nor authority to change this natural law. Mothers, tribes, and countries only exist to protect their own. Implicit here: "mine" refers to color.

She probably really believes that white people ‘stand by theirs’ because of things like how the media lied about George Floyd or Michael Brown. There are consequences to presenting figures like this as murdered martyrs rather than criminals who resisted arrest.

JUST IN: Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark reportedly warned new recruits to “get hobbies that aren’t computers,” saying the company is building a “superhuman coder with nation-state hacking capabilities.”

It's hard to overstate how much of an outlier California is for its slow vote-counting relative to literally any other state or almost any other industrialized democracy.

The Pope rightly warns that AI must serve human dignity, not become a tool of domination or exclusion. But if we hand governments sweeping power over AI development in the name of safety, how do we prevent it from being used to censor, surveil, and control citizens — as Orwell foretold in 1984? This is the real alignment problem. “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.” Who will guard the guardians? “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The oldest questions of human nature and authority don’t disappear in the AI age. They become newly relevant.

@FischerKing64 Crime is down, men can have babies, frozen embryos are cognizant persons, math is racist, illegals are legal, and the best man for the job is a woman. Trust the science.

I don’t know if crime is way down. Being in cities and seeing the ongoing disorder - it strikes me as implausible. But maybe it’s true. But I don’t trust the data, the people who collect the data, the people who define and report the crimes. And I’m sure I’m not alone.
